What Is the Temporal Recruitment Event?

Running for four weeks, the Star Trek Online Temporal Recruitment event is designed to help players overcome the hurdle of joining a game that has been running for over ten years. By starting a new Temporal Recruit captain, players gain access to a host of specialized benefits tailored to guide them through the storyline. Additionally, existing characters are not left out; they will also receive rewards as players level up their new temporal agent.

Player Consequences and Rewards

Starting a Temporal Recruit captain provides specific in-game advantages and progression perks tied to the event window. Beyond the benefits granted directly to the new agent, progress made during the event feeds rewards back to your existing roster of characters, providing an incentive for veteran players to jump back in alongside newcomers. Just watch out for the Department of Temporal Investigations while navigating the timeline.
